| Um, yeah, not sure what happened here. |
So I'm going to be trying out another Sinful polish that I got from my haul last week, it's called "Amethyst" and is a nice royal purple cream. But, I'll put that in a post later today.
This afternoon the Hubs took me to a little joint in the middle of nowhere called " Four Winds Restaurant," which states the claim of being home of the "World Famous Ranger Burger." And that it is. I'm not sure if many of you know the movie "We Were Soldiers" but it was filmed here around Fort Benning. (I'm going to re-watch that movie tonight, it's been a while.) And while they were filming both Mel Gibson and Sam Elliot decided to pay this quaint little dinner in the middle of nowhere a visit. It's a local hotspot for many of the soldiers that are stationed here, and, I can see why. Friendly service, quick delicious home-cooked food, quiet. Now, getting back to the "Ranger Burger," they have these MASSIVE burgers that are soooooo tasty. The one that Ted and I both has was called the "Drill Sargent Burger." I got the junior because Ted has had one before and I knew a regular would be too big. It came with two beef patties about 7 oz each, two pieces "yellow cheese," which I don't normally eat, 2 pieces bacon, raw or grilled onions, pickles, tomato (both of which I despise so mine went without), mayo, lettuce, and the pièce de résistance-a fried egg. I LOVE burgers with eggs on them, I don't know why. I also ordered mine with an accompaniment of onion rings in place of fries. And they served our beverages in mason jars, which I just thought was too cute. After we placed our order it only took about 10 minutes to get our food. I know that we will definitely be going there again. It's only about 15 minutes from our place of residence to Fort Benning, and, from Fort Benning it was maybe 10 or so minutes, and when I looked it up online instead of being listed in Columbus, it was listed in Cusseta.
After we finished our massive lunch I decided that I wanted to stop buy Hobby Lobby to get some supplies that I needed for a cool duct tape wallet tutorial that I found on YouTube. I really like the end result, but, I forgot to get velcro, and, since I plan on being lazy today, I'll finish it off next week. I will tell you, however, that it was super easy, and I made mine pink, with a certain famous feline on it. (: When I post the final product I'll also link to the tutorial.
It was about 5:30 when we were done with the craft harvesting, but, I had the itch to explore. That, and, I didn't want to go home just yet, so, at the Hubs suggestion we went to explore historic downtown Columbus, or, known to locals as "Uptown." AH! I loved it! It reminded me so much of my beloved State Street from back in Madison. Lots of cool local shops and restaurants, artsy stuff on every corner, foliage. For my friends back in Texas, it's like a mini 6th Street. I'm so glad that it's only five minutes away from where we live. Since it was already about 6 o'clock we decided that we would come back another day to explore, but, as we were turning around I had the strong urge to pull over and go see the Riverwalk. I do have some pictures here for you!

| It looks so peaceful. This was the view from the right of where we parked. |
 |
| From the left, not much to see. |
 |
| I thought this was kind of a neato memorial. |
 |
| This reminds me of something one would see in a dystopian film. |
 |
| Alabama is just on the other side. |
 |
| We think this used to be an old power plant. |
Eventually I'd like to go see the rest of the Riverwalk, though, once you get up to the power plant the sidewalk is closed and you have to get there another way. Oh, well.
I'll post the new mani in a little bit, so, that's all for now!
